A spokesman for the hotel said in a statement that they are “shocked and stunned by the charges.”

“The security of our guests is our top priority, and we do not explicitly confirm any kind of this kind of invasion of privacy,” said spokesman. “So far, no evidence of any kind has been discovered during our initial review of the situation. Recently, the hotel has undergone a complete renovation. No processors were detected in this process.”

The hotel said it will continue to work with the authorities about the alleged event.

The woman is called Hilton Worldwide and its franchise partners in the costume saying that the trial caused her emotional distress. She is seeking $ 100 million injuries.
